warner bros attempt 2 endorse O(+> i realise this must b old news 2 some, (around 1993)
but i just discovered warner bros placed an advert in 'billboard' in an attempt 2 promote an album & 2 endorse prince's new name change 2  ...
i found this ages ago & thought it was a fake/funny mock-up: 
however, prince was offended as it did appear 2 take the piss... he responded by placing his own advert the following week, using various symbols & blasted warners by making reference 2 their restraint of his artistic output. i'm really keen 2 know what prince's 'advert' actually said...does anyone have this info or at least can elaborate? cheers!

I don't have a scanner:
"We here at NPG Records treat our artists with respect. It makes us  when they . If they have new  they want to give to their fans (with a picture) that's cool. We just want 2 bring u so u can have a good time. So here's the new album from and friends. Just don't call him Prince, O.K.?
 and be Wild, N.P.G."
The graphics were just like the Warners' ad. I have both in a scrapbook.  I have a camera!
